$25 billion as ransom for Dreamers, with cuts to legal immigration and increases to deportations doesn't pass the laugh test.

A majority of voters in Puerto Rico have requested statehood, now Congress must respond by officially offering it and allowing voters on the island to ratify their choice in a binding vote.
Pass the Puerto Rico Statehood Admission Act as soon as possible and together we can help make America a more perfect Union.
So, don't let anyone tell you that statehood will somehow diminish our cultural pride and heritage.
The United States Congress, which imposes rules, out of our control, which make it impossible to get our act together.
